When the Braves signed 37-year-old Charlie Morton to a one-year deal ahead of the 2021 season, nobody could have imagined that he would still be pitching in Atlanta in 2024 as he approaches 41 years of age. The 17-year veteran has had an unthinkable career, which coincidently began with the Braves all the way back
With Ronald Acuña Jr. out for the season, the Braves are going to add to their outfield ahead of the trade deadline. The question now surrounds whom might they target and whether will they bring in multiple guys like they did in 2021 when Acuña suffered his first torn ACL. Adding at least two outfielders
The Braves might be the most aggressive club at the trade deadline. A blockbuster trade consisting of multiple top prospects leaving the organization doesn’t seem likely, given the state of Atlanta’s farm system, but no stone will be unturned and multiple new faces will be joining the club over the next six weeks.

The Braves have always been an organization that prefers to push their top talents up the organizational ranks quickly. If you perform, you will be rewarded, and it’s worked out nicely for them in the past. Most recently, two top draft picks from Atlanta’s 2023 class have been promoted to AA Mississippi, Drue Hackenberg and
The Braves are back to their winning ways, claiming victory in eight of their last ten games, as the offense begins to find its footing. However, the need for help ahead of the trade deadline, particularly when it comes to the outfield, remains overwhelmingly apparent. Alex Anthopoulos is not going to sit on his hands
The Braves’ approach ahead of the trade deadline has changed significantly since the start of the season because of injuries to their two best players, Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. Somewhat shockingly, Atlanta’s rotation hasn’t missed a beat without Strider, thanks to a couple of outstanding offseason additions. Chris Sale seems to have found
The Braves are starting to look like the team they were a year ago, winners of six of their last seven games, and fresh off a sweep of the Detroit Tigers, which brings us to our next trade deadline piece. I’ve covered a plethora of trade candidates for a number of different teams, mostly from
